The Most Loving Marriage In History: Master Mu’s Pampered Wife

Xi Xiaye frowned as she gave it some thought before nodding. “I’ll ask him about it. What about you? If Qi Qiming sent Gu Lingsha to handle this project, what will happen to you?”

Qi Lei smiled and closed his eyes. “What can I do? I’ll just do whatever I can.”

“Qi Qiming… Why does he hold such a huge bias against you? He shouldn’t treat you like this even if he really favors Qi Feng.” Xi Xiaye looked straight at Qi Lei. “No matter what, you’re still his son.”

If it were not for Qi Lei’s similarity in appearance with Qi Qiming, Xi Xiaye seriously doubted if Qi Lei was actually Qi Qiming’s son. There was no need to check. How could they not be?

“It doesn’t matter. I’ve never thought of him as my father anyway. I’m just here to visit you today and I heard from the doctor you’ll be discharged in two days. I’ll be visiting you at Maple Residence then.” Qi Lei stood up as he spoke in a bland tone, his usual cheekiness nowhere to be seen, “I’ll head back for now. I’ve got something to attend to tonight. You two had better buy me a drink after you’ve recovered. Goodbye!”

Xi Xiaye nodded. “Alright, thank you, and Happy New Year.”

Qi Lei waved his hand and walked towards the door, his retreating figure appearing lonely.

Xi Xiaye took a deep breath. With parents and environment like that, Qi Lei was really…

Night arrived soon, and it was 11p.m. when the plane touched down in City Z.

“Li Si, send Master Mo back home,” Mu Yuchen left an order before boarding his car.

“It’s late at night. Don’t you want to eat something first?” Zhou Zimo asked.

“I’ve had some on the plane, let Li Si send you back.”

His car quickly left, it was easy to guess where he was heading.

Li Si watched the car as it disappeared in the dark. A while later, he asked Zhou Zimo with a frown, “Master Mo, did Master tell you anything? I can feel that he has a lot on his mind. Did he find out something? Why did we suddenly come back? We might’ve been able to find the answer if we continue investigating. Why come back now and leave Ah Bao alone there?”

Zhou Zimo’s expression turned solemn as well. He thought about his conversation with Mu Yuchen. Moments later, he took a deep breath and then said, “Maybe that’s just how he rolls. He probably thinks there’s no need to investigate anymore. Well, he has his own concerns.”

Li Si nodded. “Concerns? But Master didn’t do anything, or could he already know what’s happening?”

“Let’s wait for the outcome of the investigation from Ah Bao. This matter isn’t as simple as we thought. Why else would there be no results after so many years of searching? I’m starting to feel uneasy now that we’re getting closer to the truth. Well, there’s no point in worrying now. I’m sure things will work out when the time comes. Believe your Master,” advised Zhou Zimo before he got into the car.

“I’m not going back to my place. Head to Master Su’s place instead.”

“Yes, Master Mo!”

The car drove past quickly under the moonlight.

Inside Hospital T, Xi Xiaye made Zhuang Shurong go home in the evening. There was a huge group of bodyguards standing by as well as the nurse Aunt Yue, so Xi Xiaye felt safe and comfortable during this period of time.

Before she went to sleep, the nurse took Mu Zicheng over to hold him for a while. Xi Xiaye then went to sleep soon after.

It was very cold late at night when Mu Yuchen walked into the hospital with a strong, crisp breeze.

As Xi Xiaye was asleep, she felt her blanket being moved and a familiar scent reached her nose. Before she could react she found herself wrapped in a warm hug.

“Didn’t you say you needed a few days? Why are you back now?” Xi Xiaye wrapped her arms around him as she asked.

“I just returned as soon as I was done. Don’t ask so many questions and just sleep, alright?”

When she finally managed to open her sleepy eyes and looked at him, he climbed over and gave her a goodnight kiss before falling asleep.

Xi Xiaye was wide awake when she heard his deep breathing right beside her. She looked at him for a long while as she ran her fingers through his messy hair.

The New Year holiday passed, and they quickly returned to their normal daily lives.

However, there were a lot of traffic accidents recently, thus Su Chen had to work overtime almost every day. Sometimes, he could only go home in the morning like right now.

He drove down the highway and quickly arrived at an expensive residential area.

There was a severe accident at a highway yesterday. Su Chen received the news just as he was falling asleep, so he then had to get up and rush over. He did not expect the whole thing to last until the morning. Right now, he was so sleepy that he asked his assistant to send him home after he left his colleagues his orders.

He finally arrived home. Just as he was getting his key card—

“Long time no see, Instructor Su!” A loud voice came from behind him, and it was filled with fury!

Su Chen was stunned for a moment. He quickly spun around.

Ji Zitong was wearing a large black coat as she stood behind him. While his slightly bloodshot eyes seemed confused, his tone was calm. “Why are you here so early in the morning? What do you want?”

Su Chen took out his key card and opened the door before entering.

Ji Zitong’s eyes turned cold as her expression darkened. She followed him in before closing the door.

Su Chen threw his briefcase onto the sofa and took out his coat. Then, he grabbed himself a glass of water and swigged it before looking at the woman who came into his house. “Speak. I’m very busy.”

Ji Zitong’s rage erupted like a volcano. “I’m very busy as well and I don’t have time to play with you. Su Chen, you’re really a bastard! You can stop your prank now!”
